FAQ
No, the World Coffee Challenge is not the first competition of its kind to be held. We are resolutely optimistic and prove that, by celebrating the best coffees in the world and demanding that they be roasted at origin, by using new technologies, and by encouraging the protection of identities and terroirs, the world of coffee can quickly free itself from the weight of old reflexes and clichés and evolve towards sustainability, respect for nature and for people.
Yes, the organizers have experience in this specific field that they have acquired in similar competitions in France. Quentin Rouyer, a graduate of HEC Paris in International Business, coordinated a coffee competition, led a coffee training program and founded Alternative Café, a brand of coffees exclusively roasted at origin. Michel Bontemps, recognized in the thermal world, has created an international water competition.
Expert tasters are the pilar of the World Coffee Challenge. To lead them, we have the honor of counting on a renowned President, Mercedes Gonzales, who can thus promote the competition through the media and the professions of taste. The members of the jury, experts in their field, and real references, are among the best coffee tasters and baristas in Spain.
